About This Book

A band of young ranchers investigate strange incidents after the valley's water stops flowing and a threatening warning appears; their inquiries reveal sabotage, hidden tunnels, nighttime attacks, cattle rustling plots, and engineered floods. The boys employ riding skill, quick thinking, and teamwork to follow clues, confront conspirators, explore subterranean passages and a water gate, and protect stock and community. A sequence of adventurous episodes, narrow escapes, and moments of humor culminates in exposure of the scheme, practical solutions to the water problem, and a return to peaceful ranch life.
